| Popis: | The current paper features the mechanism of establishment of guardianship among the peasants of the Tomsk province. The main stages of establishment of guardianship are analyzed on the basis of custody cases: appointment of the guardian, compilation of the belongings list and the report on property management, carrying out the biddings. The study reveals violations and conflict situations in every aspect involved. The author comes to a conclusion that guardianship in this region was reduced to a mere fight for material resources. The trustee could dispose of property of the orphans, e.g. to plough their land or to give it for rent together with domestic constructions and cattle. The trustee could put the profit on the account in a savings bank until the orphan came of age, or use these funds for the orphan’s own needs with the permission of the village assembly. The matters of custody and Christian upbringing did not find reflection in the considered documents. Nevertheless, the community carried out the main social function in appointing the guardian, despite the absence of proper legislation. Guardians were appointed annually, according to local customs. |
